Rio Grande Theatre — Attraction in Las Cruces

I was highly disappointed with this theatre and its staff specifically a certain Theodore. My husband, me and our three children all under the age of 13 went to go see a play at this theatre. We drove an hour and some change to go see it. We paid 100 dollars for all of our tickets. This was a special enough play for that based on a family favorite, "Jesus Christ Superstar". When we got there, instead of being treated to a rendition based on the original, much to our shock, they had a female playing Jesus and her disciples were a mix of transgender, female and male. What a mockery they tried to do of our King and Saviour. We felt bamboozled. My three children were instantly ashamed and looked down while my husband and I squirmed in our seats. How should we see this show for God Himself had told us to come and see?We tried to be open minded...a female Jesus, perhaps look at it in a spiritual sense...but not when we noticed and recalled Mary Magdalane. And furrowed our brows at the stake in place of a cross. Total chaos on that stage in reference to the holy things. Desecration and blasphemy against Our Creator and Saviour. I don't judge their lifestyles. I too was once a sinner like them but what I stand here and judge today is their sinful treatment of our Lord and Savior and His holiness. That is what I protest. Plus the fact that they lured people to see their play through false advertising on radio airwaves. They advertised the play as just another faithful rendition of the original. The original has a male Jesus which is proper since that was His gender. And we who are biblical scholars know why He had to come as a man versus a woman. He was atoning for the first Adam's sin. So thankful for that. So we had to walk out of the show despite our desire to be open-minded. Our godly conscience didn't permit us to stay. We had to walk out in protest as if to say we break off our agreement with this play. We will not sit down and listen to what you have to say about Our Savior for how can flesh commune of spiritual things? We left, feeling sexually assaulted by the enemy. I cried the first part of the way home. The Holy Spirit in me was sad. He was grieved. He cried through me. The more I thought about it the more I reasoned why the Lord had us go there. I understood a standard was needed. They hadn't been told? So we emailed them and told them what had happened and asked for a refund and we would leave in peace. No such thing happened. Instead Theodore said policy did not permit a refund. Despite the assault on our persons, (remember my children), and explaining what they had transgressed, this company buckled down and stuck to their policy. We told them plainly that their policy will not cover them in God's court of law. He is our Judge, our Lawgiver and our Attorney and He saw what they did. Their crime? BLASPHEMING GOD'S SON. Then came the warning to them to not mess with holy things like communion, God's name and God's Son. Doing so will heap divine judgment on themselves. They did not care. Policy was their covering. Despite their unwillingness to right this wrong, and be righteous, we were willing to forgive. But today the Lord put the word tolerate in my mind and I knew He meant for me to look it up in the context of Revelation 2, the church of Thyatira. And what is the warning of God to us believers in Christ? We tolerate that woman Jezebel who teaches people to be sexually immoral and to sacrifice to idols. You know what that word tolerate means in the Greek? It means to forgive and release from her debt. I tell you now unless you repent of your sins and come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ you will by no means be forgiven. The one you blaspheme, Rio Grande Theatre, director and cast of Jesus Christ Superstar/a liberal rendition, is your only means to salvation! Repent! Come to the light while there is still time. Come to the Lord Jesus Christ. You will not be forgiven any other way. Repent or you will be left behind for the great tribulation. The Lord Jesus stands at the door and knocks....

Fun event. We went for the acrocats show. It's an older theater and I wasn't sure what to expect. They had someone at the door who was facilitating people getting through the line to get in. They have a wheelchair accessible ramp that will get you right up and in. we didn't use the concession stand although there were quite a few people in line for that. The bathrooms are clean and modern. We had seats in the fourth row and they were quite comfortable. Because much of the action was on the floor level of stage it was a little harder to see than I would have liked but they would have been perfect for a play, musical performance, or even ballet. We will...

Although it helps to arrive early if you need parking close to the door, this place has live entertainment for just about anyone's preferences during the year. One time, the staff had no idea how to help a person that was about to fall because the doors to the seating were not opened on time because the performance people needed more time. Simply putting a chair for the person to sit on would have done the trick. Much better solution than saying there was nothing that could be done.

Inside the seating and stage views work well for me and those I have been with. Expect good entertainment here because that is what...
